Georgie Gibbs

Ciao, Italia

Four years passed and so Georgie took an overdue trip to visit her father, originally from St John’s Wood, London, who, now in his late 70s, resides in a 1950s converted farmhouse in the region of Abruzzo, Italy. The inspiration that guided this solo trip to Italy came after looking through a photo book ‘In Veneto, 1984-89’ by photographer Guido Guidi.

Georgie Gibbs

Georgie Gibbs is a British documentary and travel photographer. She is known for her soft colours, hard architecture, form and composition. Shooting primarily on film, her work mainly consists of finding the beauty in the mundane from the places around her, mindfully taking images of the ordinary, keeping her present and in the moment. With the right interplay of colour, there’s always something to discover and try to capture. What binds the majority of her work together, other than colour and shape, is both documenting and maximising a place she visits, to figure out if there’s a story there and what the story is. Her work has been featured in the following publications: The Guardian / The Photographer’s Gallery / BBC News & Fisheye Magazine
